First ball picker purchase and will purchase another. It is simple, compact, light, and easy to use. I don't have to bend over repeatedly to pickup balls anymore. I am purchasing another one because players want to help pickup balls while waiting their turn to play and I only have one. In my opinion, it is worth the price and money well spent. It's best benefit is no back or knee pain.

The tool is really great but considering how simple the idea is and what it takes to build it, it is overpriced. I guess until someone else figures out how easy it is to make it they rule the market and they can charge whatever they can.

I am very happy with this. The one thing I would criticize is the rounded end, if it had more squared-off corners on the end you could get a ball out of a corner! Still, I have a couple of feet that work okay for moving a ball out to where I can pick it up with this tool. Everything else about it is excellent.

Worth every penny. Comes with a replacement string/line that I have not had to use yet. I didn't really use my ping pong robot before because I dreaded picking up the balls. Now I use it very often because I know this device will make the pickup much easier! Will pick up two balls at once very easily. I don't push my luck with 3 or more at one time because I don't want to break the string/line.

This ball picker is absolutely amazing! It blows away it's competition by picking up multiple balls at once and with ease. It is long enough to reach underneath the table without even bending! Even the laziest of players at my house now volunteer to pick up the balls!! This thing performs so well and is such a creative invention that it doubles as a conversation piece among my fellow players. Well worth the extra money for the best picker on the market!
